Woah!

It's been a whole week since I've posted because we have been so busy! This was our schedule: Tuesday, drive to Nashville; Wednesday, hang out in Nashville plus Garth Brooks concert; Thursday, drive home, drive to Decatur to pick up the kids, drive back home; Friday, drive to Goshen for Christmas Eve, drive home; Saturday, drive to Decatur for Christmas day, drive home; Sunday, drive back to Decatur for sibling dinner; Monday, drive home from Decatur after super fun filled night! Crazy!! So, to fill you all in and give you great details, I will probably do a series of post from this last week, starting with Nashville.

Nashville is an amazing city. There are literally people playing music on every corner. It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. They have their guitar cases out collecting money. There are also bars and touristy shops everywhere you look; and each bar has an awesome band playing in it.

On Wednesday we went to the world famous Wildhorse Saloon. Apparently on June 1, 1994, the history of the World Famous Wildhorse Saloon began with country superstar Reba McEntire hearding a stampede of live cattle through the streets of Music City, also known as Nashville, Tennessee. The cattle were herded down Second Avenue and past the front doors of the newly opened club.*

They had great food (I had a Grilled Apple BLT for lunch) and all day line dancing. We went back that night before the Garth concert and watched Phil Vaught and enjoyed the night life of the saloon.

Then we headed to the Garth Brooks concert. He came out of retirement to do this Nashville Flood Relief benefit concert. He performed 9 shows in 6 nights and every single show was sold out. We had horrible seats, literally the highest seats in the building, but it was still AMAZING! I took about 100 pictures and lost my voice screaming and singing.

We had a fabulous time and would love to go back to Nashville soon. We are also looking into going to see Garth in Vegas because it was such an amazing night! I know I left out so many details, but this past week was full of so much excitement, a blog post just can't do it justice. More to come soon covering our Christmases!
